Hollister Hills

Silly 4Runner...

I hope that Jeep Wrangler that came in when we left didn't get stuck or something

We're airing up, and this guy pulls up next to me in a new Wrangler Sport.

"Is this place hard?"

I tried not to laugh and politely advised he followed the green trails only, especially if he's never been there.

"Do I have to air down?"

(stares at Michelin Defender street tires)

"Don't, those are street tires, and if you do, only do so if you can air up"

"Oh ok, dang. Thank you"

 

Ah looks like I just missed the crew that went out.

I’ll be driving down to Pismo this Sunday at 4:30am so I’ll probably actually skip Hollister tomorrow.

Maybe we can plan another trip in 1-2 weeks?

 

Well 1 or 2 others mentioned Saturday; it was only 5 of us that went today.

 

Chris got a better one of Nelson's reaching for the sky

 

I can see a few buddies of mine giving me shit for that if they saw it

 

Blame it on the spotter

 

Didn't even see this until now @outxider -

Who was it at the end of this video that said

"Very nice" like Borat

I don't have a youtube account so cant post videos from Sang's link, but I got a kick out of someone saying "WOAH" when I climbed up those tires.

And that 4R, doing 4R things

 

@essjay

I have no idea how I missed this, probably because I was spotting for a bit.

Someone got footage of you running the tunnel. Good shit considering you're open diff -

Personally I would opt for Harrop.

I had purchased one to install up front for my Tacoma 4x4 conversion, and when the truck accidently sold, I decided to not go so 'off road' with the 4Runner and ended up selling it -





Reason why I went Harrop over ARB is; no air compressor, no air lines, no maintenance (not often, but over time you'd need to replace some seal or something).

Not that ARB lockers fail, but ECGS said they've never had a Harrop fail from the many they've sold over the years.

Just noticed the face

 

Anyone going up this weekend?

Went couple weeks ago but stayed on greens and blue.

regeared to 5.29 ECGS and ARB lockers. Just trying to break in the lockers.. Bummer I missed out last week.. really don't wanna go alone and have an oh sh#t! moment and then SOL..

 

I'm always down to plan a weekday trip if it's at least one week in advance.

 

You should be doing Black Diamond, skip the greens and blues.

 

That's what I was hoping to do but not on my own.. I'll probably go and see if someone is out there to spot.. I hope..

 

Your truck is way more than capable of a lot already.

I can possibly go next Friday; @Taco-Obsessed @outxider ?
